Charlotte Church Loses Baby Weeks After Announcing Pregnancy: 'Now Is a Time for Grieving'

Charlotte Church has lost her baby, a statement posted to the U.K. singer’s Twitter announced on Monday.

“Charlotte and [musician Johnny Powell] are very sad to announce that they lost their baby. Now is a time for grieving and being together as a family,” the statement read. “We kindly ask everyone to respect that peace.”

In a May interview with The Guardian, Church opened up about the pregnancy, saying she felt “brilliant” about growing her family.

“It’s great, it’s lovely,” she said, adding that her pregnancy “feels very different this time around,” when compared to first becoming a mother at 21.
